Here is My MERV and Mini Slash, The MERV has metal CVD's, Aluminium turnbuckles, and front rockers at all four corners. Right now for the pic's it has the Carbonfiber shell I bought but I have a custom Prographics with safety Orange accents and the stock Silver shell.
The Mini Slash is 100% stock right now but I have metal CVD's, metal turnbuckles and pushrods and will get the front rocker mod also. I will also be updating the body to the new JConcepts Truth body.

- Made the track myself at Parc Lafontaine in Montreal, Quebec, Canada With two Traxxas Series 1 stock 1200mAh 7.2V NiMH battery packs in parallel (with the Traxxas adaptor) At an average I manage to do 45 min run time (average of 50%-75% speed let's say) Charging time is 6 hours with the given cheap Charger I also have the 1/16 E-Revo VXL Brushless, I'll post a video of it and link it here some day soon... Paid 338 $ for this Slash (including 2 Traxxas Series 1 batteries + 8 Alkaline batteries + shipping + tax) online at a shop in Edmonton, Alberta (Hobby Alley 5% rebate of total and bought also from Great Hobbies) I'm loving my two 1/16 cars so far :-P

here's a short videop clip of my MREV, bone stock with carbon fiber rockers and a cut out motorcycle fender as a winghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_17HBkbLuYE
I'm sorry about the loud yell in the middle, haven't edited it yet, I have more footage coming, more footage

It's a mechanical break system i did back in july,and still today holding up strong,there are other mod's to it as well,variable rate shocks,front and rear low profile swaybar,the linkage in the front is to limit the travel of the rocker arms for high speed runs or drifting.and keeps those wheelies in control,it can be adjusted without taking the body off .

i wanted to see what would happen if i stuck a 1/10 scale truggy body on a converted mini slash with MERV arms.

because of the rear bumper, it won't flip over, and will eventually correct its wheelie. unfortunately, the body didn't hold out too well, the back is cracked and a hole appeared in the top of the shell.

1/16 e-revos in Afghanistan

Me and my buddy got a couple of 1/16 e-revos to play with while we are in Afghanistan. The terrain is rough and changes daily with all of the construction over here so it is fun.

here is a couple of videos from the other day. Hope you like we where trying to learn the camera it was our buddy's we missed a lot of good footage like head on collisions at almost full speed and accidently running over my buddy's car after he flipped. Video 1 was a hard landing that broke my rear body post mount and spoiler off. I also broke a servo gear in the head on collision. My buddy hit a building at about 25mph and broke a control arm and his front body post mount.
